Another thing is that honor systems don't survive first contact with non-Japanese Asians and Indians Most formerly venerable American universities operated on the idea that their students were gentlemen who could be trusted not to cheat. This made them exceptional The Chinese don't do that. They just cheat to get ahead. Same with Indians, and like groups, with what rare exceptions there are proving the rule So when you hear about Chinese doing well with university grades compared to whites and us needing to study harder, or whatever...it's because the "Princeton man" used to be a smart but still well-rounded gentleman. That might still kinda be the case with legacies...it's not the case with foreign students, or kids of immigrants who become students, as any professor who has had to deal with Cantonese or Indian students will tell you if they have to be honest. This has decimated the campus culture and traditions of all these schools, and has put whites farther and farther behind So the sort of well-rounded, competent, and honest gentlemen you actually want stewarding the capital of investors by building better companies are screened out. They didn't get "good grades" compared to barely English-speaking Chinese students or Indian strivers, all of whom cheat, and so the CEO will be Vish Chang and he'll engage in some insane scheme and dispossess Americans in favor of illegally hired H-1Bs to boost quarterly earnings and temporarily push up the stock price instead of just running a good company
